Editorial Review: Product Description: The popular picture book about an energetic and demanding little pig and an accommodating little girl is now available in a miniature hardcover edition accompanied by an adorable plush velour pig doll. Standing seven inches tall, this irresistible doll features shiny black tap shoes and a bright multicolored scarf, just like in the book. She even comes complete with her own detachable pancake, but watch out'if you give a pig a pancake . . . If you give a pig a pancake, she'll want syrup to go with it. You'll give her some of your favorite maple syrup. She'll probably get all sticky, so she'll want to take a bath. She'll ask you for some bubbles. When you give her the bubbles . . . Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond have done it again! As in their mega-sellers If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and If You Give a Moose a Muffin, chaos is the order of the day when an accommodating little girl tries to keep up with the whims of a bossy little pig. Amazon.com Review: "If you give a pig a pancake, she'll want some syrup to go with it. You'll give her some of your favorite maple syrup. She'll probably get all sticky, so she'll want to take a bath." You get the idea. Baths lead to bubbles, bubbles lead to rubber ducks, rubber ducks lead to wanting a trip to the farm. If You Give a Pig a Pancake is a delightful exploration of the scenario "if you give an inch, they'll take a mile." But who could refuse the whims of this adorable piglet? Not us, and certainly not the pig's young caretaker. Parents will feel a familiar twinge as they witness the pig's increasingly elaborate demands, and kids will be delighted that the story circles back around to the original pancake. Laura Numeroff and illustrator Felicia Bond--well-loved creators of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and If You Give a Moose a Muffin--succeed again in concocting a marvelously skewed study of cause and effect that inevitably results in a riotous read-aloud. Your kids will ask for this book again and again, and you won't want to refuse. (Ages 4 to 8) --Karin Snelson Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - A Sticky SituationIf You Give A Pig A Pancake By Laura Numeroff Illustrated by Felicia Bond "If you give a pig a pancake, she'll want some syrup to go with it." One thing leads to another in this silly children's picture book. When the pig gets through with your house, you will think you'd been visited by the "Cat in the Hat." Then the pig will want another pancake and more syrup. Jill Ammon Vanderwood Through the Rug Through The Rug: Follow That Dog (Through ...

Rating: - CleverThis book is adorable. I love the clever way the author meshed the whims of the little girl with the piglet. Very clever and cute. I have noticed one common thing when reading through reviews from parents on a children's books. A children's book is just that, a children's book. It may seem simplistic or silly to an adult but that is because it is supposed to appeal to a child's imagination. However, it is nice to hear when a book appeals to both mindsets. I wrote a book about ...

While there were other factors for sure, this is not a hyperbole, for I know of no other top reason to fall in love with teaching better than with Laura Numeroff and her whimsical set of cyclical stories. My only regret is that while becoming winded by laughing out loud during the famous pig show, I may have startled the poor preschooler ...

Kids love it - everything imaginative and possible - the same ingredients that have give us great movies - imagination and tapping the world of a child, viewed as a child. For adults, well, we know that we really wouldn't invite animals into our homes and treat them like adults - but you're missing the point, but maybe you are supposed to, because you are no longer a child. If you adults want to read for your own personal adventure and enjoyment check out sections for adults. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
